An historic railway carriage, which had spent time being used as a cricket pavilion after it was taken out of service, has been brought back to life on the rails following a £50,000 restoration project.

The LYR (Lancashire Yorkshire Railway) 47 Blackpool Club Car, built in 1912, will return to service along the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway in time for its centenary next year.

Society members and guests will attend an event at Oxenhope station this Wednesday when a new chapter in railway history will be made.

See the T&A on Monday for more details and pictures of the carriage
